Hilarious Pampered Consort: Lord I Will Wait For Your Divorce chapter 13

Yi Xiang Nong spoke: “Little sister’s intention was to come here to pay you a respect.”

“You are thoughtful.” Qu Tang’er really didn’t understand the custom, so everything went at will.

“Big sister just arrived to the eighth prince’s manor and don’t yet understand the affairs inside the manor. If there’s anything needed for little sister to render a service for, do not hesitate to tell me. At least, little sister has been in the manor already for several years.” Yi Xiang Nong pursed her lips and smiled as if to show off something. Her smile was too wide. It made people’s eyes feel irritated.

“Oh. You’re thoughtful.” Qu Tang’er repeated the same sentence. She didn’t like this woman at all. She was so hypocritical it made people detest her.

“I heard from servants that at the wedding night his Highness didn’t spent night at big sister’s chamber.” Yi Xiang Nong seemed to look at Qu Tang’er with concern. Yet, when one listened to her it appeared more like she was rejoicing in other people’s misfortune.

“It turned out that you know about everything. It’s true that his Highness didn’t rest in the bridal chamber yesterday.“ Qu Tang’er slightly knitted her brows and lowered her head. Her speech carried a sadness. Actually, she bowed her head in order to conceal the disgust inside her eyes.

“Why didn’t big sister make his Highness stay then?“

“I failed to make his Highness stay. Alas.” Unfortunately, she still had to display a sad and heart-broken appearance. She had to make her depressed tone presentable. When these words came out of Qu Tang’er, Jing Xin who was beside her almost didn’t restrain herself from laughing. She promptly lowered her head to cover herself up. From when did her master liked to tease people so much?

“Big sister must be very cold at night, sleeping by yourself, right?”

“It wasn’t cold. It was very warm.” Qu Tang’er said without thinking.

“As little sister, I truly feel sad for big sister.”

“I’m not sad. I’m very happy.”

“Big sister ——” Yi Xiang Nong still wanted to talk.

“Madam Yi, please drink tea.” Jing Xin reached for a cup of tea that was arranged on the table and carried it over right away. Hence, she lightly interrupted Yi Xiang Nong’s speech. It was all because she has received the hint that Qu Tang’er has sent her from the corner of her eyes just a while ago.

Anyone would be in a bad mood when being interrupted by someone. Yi Xiang Nong fiercely glared at Jing Xin. But due to Qu Tang’er’s presence, it was no good for her anger to flare up. “Big sister, you drink tea.” To one’s surprise, Yi Xiang Nong seemed to want to present tea that Jing Xin carried over to Qu Tang’er.

The corner of Qu Tang’er’s mouth twitched. She didn’t receive it. She faintly said: “It’s for you. Drink it.”

“Xiang Nong dares not to drink it if big sister doesn’t drink it first.”

“You don’t have to wait for me. You drink first.”

“There’s no need. Big sister is princess consort, after all. Xiang Nong is only a mere madam, how can I drink tea before big sister? It’s a great disregard to the etiquette.” If Yi Xiang Nong truly was afraid of disregarding the etiquette, she would have no right to call Qu Tang’er “big sister”. She was obviously violating the rules. What qualifications had a mere concubine to call herself a little sister? Her status was just slightly higher than the status of servants. Facing the noble princess consort, she still had to call herself ‘this servant’.

“We are one family. There’s no need to be concerned for the rules. Just drink it.” Qu Tang’er was too lazy to reveal her.

“No. It would be better if big sister drank it first.”

“Why? Could it be that you are afraid benwangfei¹ will poison you?” Qu Tang’er spoke mildly, still gentle as before. Yet, her words carried a bit of imposingness and sharpness. At the right times, she put up a princess consort front and changed to call herself “benwangfei”. Gosh, this woman. If she wanted to drink then drink it. However, she was talking endlessly. It made others who were listening to her feel annoyed.

“Since big sister says so, then little sister I……”

“Mhm. Just drink. Isn’t it just a cup of tea? I won’t mind about it——”

“I will drink it first then.” Yi Xiang Nong smiled softly, a trace of triumph flashed in her eyes. She raised her head and drank all of the tea inside the cup. There was not even a tiny drop of it left.

Qu Tang’er waited for her to finish drinking the tea. Only after then did she leisurely proceeded to finish the speech she has spoken to half just a moment ago. She was certain that after she finishes this speech, Yi Xiang Nong’s facial expression ought to change: “…….anyway, that tea was from yesterday. I do not want to drink it. To avoid to harm body.”
